It was only at dawn that Uriel felt sleepy.
His mind was filled with names of mysterious organizations, some were long, some were short, some were familiar, but most were unfamiliar. Let’s not mention Chloe and the Glorious Council for the time being. The apprentices of the Silent School have also heard about it. The focus is on what they have in common: part of the original Saint Mirend Alliance.
"Why disband?" he remembers asking. "Disappeared because of the contract?"
This question was answered by Joey. The messenger told him that except for the Oath Keepers Alliance, no one was willing to associate with their original enemies. The war tore up the verbal agreement, and the organizations involved in the alliance turned against each other, and one after another returned to their original form. At this point the alliance disintegrated.
Without the constraints of the contract and external pressure, the loose alliance between the mystics has ended. This should be a matter of course.
The apprentice could not help but feel a little disappointed. It’s just that he understands the truth. The cracks of suspicion and distrust are like the cracks at the bottom of a barrel. The friendship accumulated through life and death will sooner or later drain away from it.
"The evil dragon Wintherspoon was more terrifying and powerful than Garvash. After its defeat, the leaders of the alliance drove it and its deployment back to its hometown, which was outside Knox."
After Sauron roughly introduced the Grand Alliance of Saint Mirend, Joey could continue: "Astrologers use the stars to observe the fluctuations of the laws of the world. Of course, other organizations also have their own methods. We will keep a close eye on everyone in the field of responsibility. Abnormal disturbances that exceed the boundaries can be detected in time to deal with evil forces trying to invade Knox."
How many things are out there in the world? Uriel sorted out the things he knew and found that he, a newcomer to the mysterious field, had already heard a lot of names: Gavash, Cloud Train, Table World, Wintherspoon... It seemed like It's not like being banished, but rather a mysterious creature locking itself in Knox's cage with order.
In this way, Guard Knox was indeed right. The floating cloud train distorts the laws and naturally creates gaps in the cage.
"Is that train too?" The apprentice thought of the conductor on the train. Miss Debra followed the train and kept crossing the barriers of the world?
"We don't know much about trains."
Joey replied, "I don't know why it appeared, and I don't know what its purpose is. Every time the train appears, there are signs of law chaos, but we haven't found any signs of intruders every time. It seems to be Mysterious things that are naturally formed in accordance with certain legal principles, like sunsets or tides, are a natural phenomenon of the world.”
"Perhaps it will stop somewhere, carrying the life that boarded the train to another strange location. Of course, in your Eastman Kingdom terms, the station."
Uriel couldn't help but said: "The bus stops are fixed."
Joey was obviously startled, "Fixed? That doesn't seem like it."
It was rare to see an expression on the messenger's face, but it was still this thoughtful look. Uriel glanced at Sauron quietly, and the other party immediately understood. The unmelted ice chips on the ground condensed into writing:
"In Yotsuye Castle, he got on the bus backwards"
The apprentice blinked, what does that have to do with the station?
"The position of the ladder is not fixed. He thought the bus would take him to the garrison, but in fact the driver refused to make an additional stop to Fafrank Strasse.』
It seems that I was not the only one who got on the wrong bus that day... Uriel can fully imagine how delicate his mood was when the ring was used as a map.
"The Cloud Train has no stations. Judging from the locations where it stopped these three times, the range is also very wide. Chloe Towers is still not sure what the connection is between the mysterious places." Joey did not see the sneakiness of Sauron the Ring. Action, "You are the first person to come to Knox by train, and from the surface world."
"Honestly, I'm not very honored." Uriel said, helping to cover the ring.
The young man declined to comment. "Welcome." His greeting was three days late.
...The mysterious creature just has magic power, it doesn't mean that it also behaves abnormally, right? Uriel was about to change the topic again before the conversation ended. He couldn't let the other person talk to death like this. Besides, the apprentice had too many questions to ask, and he was confident that Joey could answer them——
But the messenger spoke first: "How far into the future is your prediction?"
"About two hours." He answered the question subconsciously, "Is there anything I need to know in advance?"
"How fast is the magic power restored?" Joey asked again.
"I'm not sure. The Scroll of Oath seems to be able to shorten this time." It can be filled up almost instantly. The apprentice always thought that magic was like boiling water poured into a bottle, which had to be cooled before use; but the parchment told him that as long as he prayed to Gaia, there was no difference between boiling water and cold water.
Uriel guessed that Joey wanted him to predict something in the future, but he was reluctant to use this ability. The overlapping dreams were really a headache, and what he was even more afraid of was that he would get lost in the illusion.
But Uriel didn't lie, he just spoke vaguely. The power of words is truly visible, doesn’t it show? It can not only recite incantations.
"We have to walk out of the Four-leaf Field and march in a straight line towards Winnie Watts." Joey said, "We have to pass through a forest."
"I have never seen the forest. Is there anything I need to prepare?" Uriel had never left Four Leaf City in his life.
"There is a 'Valley of Sleep' there."
"The Valley of Sleep?"
"It is said that there is no sound there, it is absolutely quiet." The messenger was a little regretful, "It would be great if your magic could see when we arrive."
The apprentice thought he had not been there either. "I'm also very curious, but waiting always brings surprises. A few days can exercise our patience."
The young man looked surprised. Or Sauron the Ring wrote in a mocking tone: "What are you thinking about?" The 'Valley of Sleep' is a dangerous and mysterious area, and suitcases are not suitable for going there.』
Mysterious area——
If his vigilance against fighting the undead hadn't faded, he would have been so excited that he almost ignored the word danger: "Magic Valley? No sound? Where is the danger?"
"Mysterious Valley, yes, the danger is the sound." The messenger answered one by one.
"Can't we make a noise?"
"We couldn't make a sound."
"What's the danger here?"
"The valley is huge and full of sharp rocks."
"only these?"
"Isn't this enough?" the messenger asked.
Uriel felt that he could not communicate with Joey. "I do not understand."
"You'll understand when I see you." Joey replied. He ended the conversation unilaterally, turned around and left, without even giving Sauron a chance to add explanation.
The apprentice was disappointed. He stood up with a sigh and suddenly heard a strange noise when he picked up the kettle. Uriel was stunned for a moment and quickly opened the lid. The ice inside had melted into ice water.
Finally feeling a little comforted, he drank the water in one gulp, feeling the coolness rush to his forehead. The sleepiness is getting lighter, but the night is still long, so there is nothing to worry about.
But unexpectedly, he couldn't sleep when he was disappointed. When the apprentice opened his eyes and wanted to gaze at the large and small constellations in the night sky, the morning fog and dawn had already risen. Even though he didn't get much rest all night, Uriel didn't feel a headache.
The fire changed his body.
It's not a good idea to think of Cecilia when you think of Tinder. His low mood meant he hadn't gotten over his grief. The apprentice forced himself to replace the starry sky with mist, and looked at whether there was a reflection of the city on the clouds.
"Your eyes are tired."
"Good morning, Joey." Uriel did not stand up. He lay on the haystacks and straw, mysteriously driving away the multi-legged insects. "I didn't sleep all night," he admitted.
Joey stepped on the air and landed from the branch to the ground. The dwarf was snoring loudly, and York, who was in charge of the night watch, was fiddling with his belt and gently undoing one of the metal ring buckles.
Uriel couldn't restrain his smile. He quickly looked away and patted the grass blades off his pants.
"To the forest tonight."
Joey revealed the plan. "Enter the Valley of Sleep before the morning star and the Harp rise."
